Ah - I expected that with something as disk = [ 'file:mydisk.img,hda,w' ] Xen would have directly used "mydisk.img" as the backend disk file. Does it instead automatically create a loopback overlay? I mainly use KVM, and maybe I am spoiled by its capability to use basically any datastore as backing disk.
